This week's investigations include:

LUXURY GOODS, BREADLINE WAGES

We speak to staff selling cosmetics in some of Britain's biggest high street stores who are earning well below the minimum wage. Many of the young women are recruited directly from eastern Europe, with the promise of a well-paid job in the UK; but on arrival find they are working to unrealistic sales targets and find it impossible to earn commission. Living in company homes, they are also charged extortionate rent which leaves them with next to nothing to live on.

SOCIAL HOUSING SNITCHING

This week the government announced a new scheme to reward council house tenants who choose to dob in illegal sub-letting. We hear from one tenant whose life was made a misery after he informed on his neighbour, and speak to a former investigator who reveals the risks in asking the public to police the system.

CASH PRIZES FOR CATCHING CRIMINALS

There are a staggering 4.2 million CCTV cameras in Britain watching our every move. But it seems Big Brother isn't watching us. According to Scotland Yard catching criminals on camera is an "utter fiasco." We speak to 大象传媒 London's Mark Jordan about his investigation into a company putting the capital's CCTV onto the world wide web and offering cash prizes for those who spot a crime.
